The profound shift in US foreign policy just days after President Donald Trump took office will significantly alter transatlantic coordination on China. His unilateral, transactional approach contrasts with Europe’s commitment to rules and multilateralism, though both face similar challenges from Beijing and stand to gain from enhanced cooperation.
In this edition of MERICS Forum, we look at what this means for EU-US coordination on China. Grzegorz Stec, Head of MERICS’ Brussels Office, asked leading experts: “What could effective transatlantic coordination on China look like under Trump’s presidency?” Grzegorz also offers his own take.
